The OnePlus 11 was launched in January this year in the Chinese market with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a starting price of ¥3999 (~$559). Later in February, the phone was launched globally at a starting price of $699 / €849 / £729 / ₹56,999. The brand is now all set to launch the successor, the OnePlus 12.
The phone is launching in China on December 5, and now OnePlus has shared images of the phone, giving us our first official look and confirming the previous leaks.
The OnePlus 11 was launched in only two colors: black and green. But the OnePlus 12 is coming in at least three color options. Apart from black and green, there is also the white color, which looks minimal and premium. Moreover, the green option doesn’t have the same shade of green as the OnePlus 11. It also has a pattern on the back instead of a plain back design.
As for the rest of the design, not much has changed from the OnePlus 11. The OnePlus 12 has a similar-looking camera module design. Some subtle changes include the placement of LED flash outside the circular camera module and the Hasselblad logo.
And of course, how can we forget the periscope telephoto camera on the OnePlus 12? The official images confirm the previous leaks, and this makes the OnePlus 12 the first phone from the company with a periscope telephoto camera. The camera module also has some text related to the focal length and the aperture of each camera. The primary camera has a 23mm lens with an f/1.6 aperture. The ultrawide camera has a 14mm lens with an f/2.2 aperture. The periscope telephoto camera has a 70mm lens with an f/2.6 aperture.
The front design remains unchanged, so the phone has a curved display with a hole punch cutout in the middle. The alert slider is on the left side.
OnePlus hasn’t yet shared the full specifications, but all that the company has shared includes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
As per leaks, the OnePlus 12 has a large 5,400mAh battery, 100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, a Sony LYT-808 sensor for the primary camera, a 64MP Omnivision sensor for the telephoto camera, and a 120Hz BOE X1 OLED display with at least 2,600 nits of peak brightness.
